The first tombs are interesting, good looking, in the process of renovation and full of people. Go to the last tombs, less people, more authentic and with the hazy weather as we had it looks even beter!

is he or isnt he buried there... Stories abound that his body is hidden elsewhere and that the poor slaves that buried him were beheaded so they couldn't say where. Our local guide disputed that. But lovely and peaceful, beautiful scenery, well worth visiting.
Lots of memorable items from his items on display. Seems he was a good King and good to the people. Life size statue and paintings of him.
The most modest looking of the 3 main royal tombs but still worth visiting if you like to see ancient looking architecture
The tomb looks more like another palace in a beautiful surrounding with lake and park. You should see it as a part of one of your tours (we did it as a part of Hue tour).
There is an entrance fee as are all the tombs that we visited. Lots of walking and steps. Very interesting in tranquil surroundings
Worth seeing. We went as part of a tour so the guide was able to tell us things we wouldn't have found out on our own. 80,000 dong is the entrance fee.
The third royal tomb we visited. Resting at the pavilion on the edge of the lake is like being transported back in the time of Emperor Tu Duc. this is where he relaxed and sought solitude to compose his poems.
this is a very nice garden, with a lake, a lot of trees, flowers. the different buildings are well restorated.
This complex has a number of areas that without a guide to put it into context would not have too much meaning, at least for me. Fortunately I had a guide who put the elements into context. We used this as a destination of a cycling tour which included some time drifting down the Perfume River, as such it was...
